Finished SANDSTORM
Wow! This was a tense roller coaster ride. These Sigma Force books are Indiana Jones meets Ken Follett (the spy novels.) That is, high adventure with international purport. The sandstorm is the least of their problems. Also I was able to understand the scientific explanations given which is not always true of Arthur C. Clark or Stephen Donaldson. So, Rollins is also, obviously a natural born teacher. Appreciated the history and the postscript telling us what in the novel was based in fact. I could not put it down!
I am now reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George. Monsieur Perdu sells books specifically chosen to treat and allieviate the problems of life. I have often selected books to read with my students to be both cautionary tales as well as conversation starters about many of the pitfalls of adolescence. So I am prepared to be in love with this book. And, it will be a welcome respite from the tension of the book I have just finished.
